Can pregnant women burn paper and worship during the Ghost Festival? Can pregnant women visit graves during the Ghost Festival?
Pregnant women are people with weaker constitutions, and the Ghost Festival on July 15 is a folk ghost festival with extremely heavy yin energy. So can pregnant women go to graves to burn paper and worship on the Ghost Festival? Can pregnant women go to graves on the Ghost Festival? In July, melons and fruits are fragrant, so we also call the seventh month of the lunar calendar the "Melon Month". Follow Mr. Shui Mo's website and let us learn more about the seventh month of the lunar calendar in 2019!Can pregnant women burn paper to worship during the Ghost Festival?Pregnant women are certainly not allowed to burn paper at graves during the Ghost Festival . Firstly, the Ghost Festival on July 15th is the day when the gates of hell are wide open, and the yin energy is extremely heavy. Burning paper at graves by pregnant women will have an impact on themselves and their babies. Secondly, from other aspects, burning paper at graves during the Ghost Festival is very crowded and dusty. For the safety of the fetus, it is not recommended for pregnant women to participate. Furthermore, the weather and surrounding environment of tomb sweeping are not good for the health of pregnant women. In addition, women who are menstruating should also avoid such activities.Pregnant women cannot participate in any worship activities no matter how long they are pregnant, as it will harm the fetus (the fetus' soul is also unstable at this time. The soul will be truly stable only after the fontanelle closes. Before this, if a child sees unclean things or cries at night because of being frightened, it is a sign that the soul is not stable enough. If the baby is frightened, calling the baby's name to collect the soul and calm the fright is an effective folk solution. Can pregnant women visit graves during the Ghost Festival?Pregnant women are advised not to visit graves during the Ghost Festival.In some places, people burn paper during the Ghost Festival, but pregnant women are forbidden to fold paper. It is said that the paper ingots folded by pregnant women cannot be taken by ghosts after being burned, and it is of no use to send them to the underworld. During the Yimakou ritual, the master threw buns and fruits to the audience. Legend has it that if a woman grabs a bun, she will have a child the following year. If the child grabs the bun, he will never be frightened in his life. In Anyuan County, people worship their ancestors by burning incense and making tea from July 12 onwards, and offering sacrifices in the morning and evening. On the fifteenth night, paper money is burned for offerings. What customs are not allowed for pregnant women?1. If there is a pregnant woman at home, do not decorate the house or move, including not hammering nails, changing beds, or changing rooms. The specific statement is that it cannot affect the fetal spirit. In folklore, the "fetal god" is a deity that is in charge of the fetus and is usually present around pregnant women. People both respect and fear the fetal god. Because the fetal god has the dual nature of protecting the fetus and harming the fetus. When the fetal god is beneficial to the fetus, people naturally respect it; when the fetal god is harmful to the fetus, people fear it. The fetal spirit appears regularly at certain times in certain fixed positions around the pregnant woman or attaches to certain objects. People must not offend or harm it, otherwise it would be equivalent to harming the fetus. In fact, we know that from a scientific point of view, any waste gas and dust brought in by decoration, pollution from chemical products, physical fatigue caused by moving and changing beds, and the sound produced by knocking things are not conducive to fetal development for pregnant women.2. Pregnant women cannot use knives or do needlework because this custom is said to easily hurt the fetus. There are many folk stories about this saying. The netizen lifted up the skull above and said, "I heard from my mother before that her aunt never did housework at home. Once when she was pregnant, she used a knife to cut a fish. Later, the first child her aunt gave birth to was stillborn, with the intestines hanging out... Also, my best friend gave birth to a child. When I went to see her, she told me herself that when she was about to give birth, she went to the mountain to pick bayberries with her mother-in-law. She was bored and took scissors to cut the ears, but her mother-in-law stopped her and told her not to ask why. Later, after giving birth, her son had a small opening on his ear, just like a cut made by scissors, but fortunately it was very small." The story is quite weird. 3. Pregnant women cannot go to the temple. Even if they want to fulfill a vow, they should wait until the baby is born. If you want to pray, you can do it at home and your family can help. 4. Pregnant women are not allowed to visit graves. If they must go, they must wrap their belly with red cloth. But I still recommend not going. It is not good for the fetus. 5. Pregnant women cannot go to celebrate a happy occasion or to celebrate a funeral . Pregnant women are happy events. Folk customs hold that happiness cannot conflict with happiness, and funerals cannot conflict with sorrow. According to custom, this will affect the fertility of newly married couples. In fact, no matter whether it is a wedding, a funeral, or a birthday banquet (there are more requirements for weddings and funerals), the crowd is surging, and children are running around. No matter who bumps into a pregnant woman, touches her belly, or if the pregnant woman eats something bad, breathes too much waste gas, or has extreme emotions, it is all bad for the fetus. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
